It really boils down to what you like to do. If you like to shop, buy a house in the northern part of the Villages so you are close to those areas.

If you want to focus more on outdoor activities, there are more multimodal paths for walking and biking in the southern part of TV. There is a noticeable difference in the ages and activity levels of Villagers as you go south.

466 and 466a has the nickname of Between the 6’s.

One need to understand that everyone thinks their area or village is the best place to live. Even if it’s not, nobody is going to admit they made a half million dollar mistake

Middleton is the best in the area. At least that's what my buyers need to know.

If you are looking at preowned, research thoroughly before you buy. I would suggest you start with math.

714 homes available on MLS. Each week more are added. Homes sold each week average 30 to 40.

OVER 90% OF THE INVENTORY IS SITTING. If you are patient, it will not be difficult to find a good bargain.

That is because sellers think their homes are still worth what they were during the "Covid Boom"...

That boom in Florida is long gone forever. 2% mortgages, bidding wars and competing for a house are in the rear view mirror. Now we have the condo market collapse, 7% interest, skyrocketing insurance and record contract cancellations.

Demand is lessening. A great time for Buy N Holders to buy.

And don't forget the huge bond on new homes.
